Abstract

In this paper we consider a fluid model of a single buffer in a random external environment modeled by an Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process. Such a model appears as the limiting case of the multiplexing model of Anick, Mitra, and Sondhi [2] in a heavy traffic environment. We use the change of measure technique to derive an exponential upper bound on the tail probabilities of the steady-state buffer content. We also establish an asymptotic upper and lower exponential bounds on the tail probabilities.
